March 2008  We were approached by the parents of a 16 year old boy from Staffordshire who has Cerebral Palsy and is unable to walk.  As their son is now growing up he is becoming difficult to lift him from his wheelchair and into the car.  A Turny specialist swivel seat with armrests would enable them to transfer him easily and allow him to travel in comfort and safety.  We were happy to be able to help with a grant of £2,400.00      

March 2008   Mapledown is a special needs secondary school based in Cricklewood, London and is for pupils ages 11 - 19 with severe and complex learning difficulties.  It currently has 60 pupils on role.  The school approached The ACT Foundation for a grant to help improve their outdoor play area which would provide their students with a stimulating environment.  The school run an after school club which would ensure that the equipment was being used throughout the year.
